Air curtain Construction

A standard air curtain consists of a case, fan/blower (see also below), nozzle and controls. For most retail or commercial applications heating is recommended, and will also include either electric heating elements or a hot water heat exchanger.Whereas in most industrial air curtains where the primary focus is high air velocity to stop any outside air from entering, in a retail/commercial setting the main function of the air curtain fan is to create an even air stream across the doorway to mitigate the entry of cold exterior air and help to maintain ambient interior temperatures. In the case of smaller commercial air curtains, are designed to maximize air volume at an air velocity that wont be disruptive to people walking through the air stream

Types of air curtain fans

Cross-flow (tangential) fans. The majority of smaller air curtains are supplied with this type of fan configuration and can be installed in multiples depending on the overall length of the air curtain. They have a specifically designed blade configuration which creates parallel air movement across the full length producing an even output across the full length of the nozzle.This minimizes air turbulence and creates as quiet as possible air stream

Centrifugal fans are generally the most efficient, and are typically used where high air volume is required and used in many types and sizes of ventilation and fan equipment as well as air curtains for larger commercial and industrial applications.They consist of an enclosed impeller with a number of blades fixed around a hub with air entering through the side of the blower,turning the air 90 degrees and blowing through a forward facing nozzle.

Axial fans. Are more recognized as a propeller, and generate a large airflow. They are often installed in various HVAC equipment depending on type and application, as well as some air curtains
